WOW. So much fun in one day! The Museum Center remains one of Gigi's favorite places. She requests trips there more than any other place (with the possible exception of Aunt Kristen's house). HOWEVER, today it was EVEN BETTER! The special exhibit feature was her favorite Big Red Dog, Clifford - complete with all his friends and family. She fell in love with T-Bone's bone from his doghouse; wooden and just the right size for her hands. On top of that, Holiday Junction - with train displays and a miniature train ride for kids only - was in full swing and bigger and better than ever this year. To top it all off, SANTA was there! Not only did she get to sit on his lap and yak quite a while, later he came over to the train table and chatted it up with Gigi. It is surprising that she did not burst into a million pieces from the excitement of it all.
In the evening, we went to the Holiday In Lights at Sharon Woods with Grammy. First, as we pulled into the parking lot we were greeted by Everett Green, the strolling christmas tree....(Kara to fill in) Inside Santaland, we heard a dulcimer player, saw a puppet performance of Ebeneezer Scrooge, admired the train display, and were treated to a magician. Genevieve's favorite was jumping in the balls in the indoor playland.
Next was the highlight: an outdoor light display viewed from our car. The display of fantastic colors adorned hundreds of trees as well as more than 100 moving and holiday themed figures depicting everything from Santa and elves to Godzilla. On the way home, Grammy was hungry so we pulled into her favorite burger joint, Wendy's. The perfect nightcap; a single burger with lettuce, pickles and mustard!
